Be As You Are

Key: EmMedium

EmBmGD

ViEmrginia Woolf and poetBmry

No one seemed to notice me

DBeing young was getting Emso old

EmCheap beer and cigarettBmes

Life was like a movie set

GAnd I seemed to be given Dno role

But in Emtimes of trouble

BmI can turn to my mother

And I Dknow that she gon' undeEmrstand

So at Emage 18

BmI cried to my mother

And she Gtold me, "young Dman"

"There are moments when you Emfall to the Bmground

But you are stronger than you Gfeel you are Dnow

You don't always have to Emspeak so loudBm, no

GJust be as you Dare

Life is not always a cEmomfortable Bmride

Everybody's got Gscars that they Dhide

And everybody plays the Emfool sometimesBm, yeah

GJust be as you Dare"

They Emplayed me on the radioBm

And everything was changing, so

DI thought I was all the Emway grown

But EmI can still remember inBm that cold November

When IG realized I'm all Dalone

But in Emtimes of trouble

BmI can turn to my mother

And I Dknow that she gon' undeEmrstand

So at Emage 22

BmI cried to my mother

And she Gtold me, "young Dman"

"There are moments when you Emfall to the Bmground

But you are stronger than you Gfeel you are Dnow

You don't always have to Emspeak so loudBm, no

GJust be as you Dare

It doesn't matter if you Embecome some Bmstar

Life is better when you Gopen your Dheart

You don't always have to Emact so hardBm, no

GJust be as you are, DJust be as you are"

EmBmGD

If CI'm speaking truthfullyBm

I'm not who I used to be

DAnd I know some people mCight laugh

Cause my Cmusic doesn't sound the Bmsame

And my head's no longer shaved

DI'm worried if I'm on the right path

But in Emtimes of trouble

BmI can turn to my mother

And I Dknow that she gon' undeEmrstand

So at Emage 26

BmI spoke to my mother (Stop strumming)

And she told me, "young man"

"There are moments when you Emfall to the Bmground

But you are stronger than you Gfeel you are Dnow

You don't always have to Emspeak so loudBm, no

EmJust be as you aDre

It doesn't matter if you Embecome some Bmstar

Life is better when you Gopen your Dheart

You don't always have to Emact so hardBm, no

But Bbfuck it, it was something to do.

BbI'm livin' out in LA

FI drive a sports car just to prove

EbI'm a real big baller cause I made a million dollars and I

Bbspent it on girls and shoes

But you don't want to be Gmhigh like me

Never really knowing Fwhy like me

You don't ever wanna Ebstep off that roller coaster and be all alone.Bb

You never wanna ride the Gmbus like this

Never knowing who to Ftrust like this

You don't wanna be Ebstuck up on that stage singing.

EbStuck up on that stage singing.

BbAll I knFow are sad Ebsongs, sad sBbongs.

Darling, Bball I Fknow are sad Ebsongs, sad Bbsongs.

I'm just a Bbsinger who Falready blew his shot

I get Ebalong with old timers

Cause my name's a reminder of a Bbpop song people forgot

And I can't keep a Bbgirl, no

Cause as Fsoon as the sun comes up

I Ebcut em all loose and work's my Bbexcuse

But the truth is I can't open up

But you don't want to be Gmhigh like me

Never really knowing Fwhy like me

You don't ever wanna Ebstep off that roller coaster and be all alone.Bb

You never wanna ride the Gmbus like this

Never knowing who to Ftrust like this

BbFEb

I took a plane to my Bbhome town

I brought my Fpride and my guitar

All my Ebfriends are all gone Bbbut there's manicured lawns

And the people still think I'm a star

I walked around Bbdowntown

I met some Ffans in life I earned

They said Ebtell us how to make it cause we're getting real impatient

So I looked em in the Bbeye and said

But you don't want to be Gmhigh like me

Never really knowing Fwhy like me

You don't ever wanna Ebstep off that roller coaster and be all alone.Bb

You never wanna ride the Gmbus like this

Never knowing who to Ftrust like this

You don't wanna be Ebstuck up on that stage singing.

EbStuck up on that stage singing.

Silence Featuring Labrinth

Key: AmMedium

Mike Posner:

You only Amlove me

In bits and Fpieces

I keep on Gworkin'

You keep your Emsecrets

That's not an Aminsult

That's not a Flie

That's just a Gstatement

Proven by Emtime

Cause even when I Amhave you I don't really have you

I am not your Flast dude. Where'd you get this attitude?

Talkin' 'bout Gyou're leavin' cause you don't believe in

Me and all my Emreasons. Left me with these demons

And this little Ampast,

In this nostalgic Ffeeling

Won't leave me Galone,

I'm faking all my Emsmiles.

And you're just killing me with Amsilence

And you're just killing me with Ftime

I don't know where to put my Gsorry's

You're running laps around my Emmind

How could you leave me on this Amtightrope?

And I feel nothing when it Fstorms

You know you're killing me with Gsilence

You hold your halo up with Emhorns

You hold your halo up with Amhorns

FGEm

Labrinth:

You know you're Amclever,

I'll give you Fthat

You gave me Gheaven

and took it Emback

That's not an Aminsult

That's just the Fcase

You've had your Gpretty mask on for so damn long

That Emeverybody thinks it's your face

But underneath your Ameyelids, I can hear the silence

Spreading like a Fvirus. Why you wear disguises?

Why'd you have to Gcut me then act like it's nothing?

This time I'm not Embluffing, How you know I'm bluffing?

Every single Amtime

Your wicked little Fmind

Gets inside of Gmine

And i can fake a Emsmile

Mike Posner & Labrinth:

But you're just killing me with Amsilence

But you're just killing me with Ftime

I don't know where to put my Gsorry's

You're running laps around my Emmind

How could you leave me on this Amtightrope?

And I feel nothing when it Fstorms

You know you're killing me with Gsilence

You hold your halo up with Emhorns

You hold your halo up with Amhorns

FGEm

You hold your halo up with Amhorns F

And you're just killing me with Amsilence.
